I just wanted to thank everyone here at this forum for all the information I gathered when deciding on my new mustang. It was great to see all the photos of everyone's cars. My color choice went from black to torch red to mineral grey and back to black. I found a black GT at a local dealer which was $500 over MSRP and it had the silver stripes on it which I was planning on doing anyways. Anyway, thanks again and here are a few pictures. Let me me know what you think.

The stripes are spaced to far in the middle from what i see in the pic and they don't go down all the way which is not very attractive feels as if something is missing. the striped need to be wider with only a inch or a inch and a half gap and need to go all the way down and on both ends and over the spoiler. But all in all its a very nice car and congratz.

Boy some people know how to rain on someone else's parade. Hey, I really love the GT rocker panel stripes, those are the best I've seen. Where did you find them?

Yes, I also like the stripes! I also agree that those are the nicest rocker panel stripes that I've seen. I've also ordered black and am looking a different stripe options.

Rich, very nice car! I like the stripes! Some people deserve the STFU award. I'm not going to stripe myself, but I think black w/ silver stripes is the best combo to do so. Congrats!

Do YOU like them? Great, then I love them. Don't let anyone pop your bubble.

You did ask what we thought, but there is a way to express opinions without poking someone in the eye.

Your stripes are fine, especially the rocker panel. On some cars the stripes are over done when they go all the way down to the bottom of the front and rear valence.

And, welcome to the forum.

Way cool car. Congrats, and enjoy.

On a happier note, good decision! You'll love the car!
